See the results of my new fertilizer! **I flush my orchids in clear water once a month...not once a week...oops ;)
If you'd like more information on how I use and mix up fertilizer for my orchids and watch me mix it up, here's the link to my video: • Watch Me Mix Up My New...
Many blessings! Amy

Wonderful update! Thank you so much for sharing your results of using this new recipe. I've been watching your videos and appreciate all the detailed information and experience that you share. Your videos have been so helpful with my journey of learning about orchids. Recently I've been rescuing some Phals in my area and they are responding well with what I've learned so far.. I'm so grateful to have found you!! Again, thank you for all your information :)

Good morning, Amy! Great information here, thank you so much! Clearly your “recipe” is working for you. I have Jack’s Part A and B in my cart. I only wish it was sold in smaller bags - it’s a lifetime supply for me! What we do for our “orkids”! Love and blessings to you and yours…

Hi Amy🤗Just wow! That fertiliser certainly seems to be producing amazing results. I watched a Rick L video where he soaked his orchids in a deep tray for 30mins. Since then I too have been following his method, both in winter and summer, they love it and don’t dehydrate so fast. Got a long way to go yet before they get to be anything like yours😂 love 💕 and blessings to you all. 🌷🌷🌷

@@OrchidWhisperer 🤣That’s so funny…the 🐿 is just thinking of food you planted in his home! You could start them in shallow plastic trays indoors with some soil lightly covering them and repot seedlings into bigger pots. Plant them out when they are about 6” and higher. I have grey squirrels in the garden, one in particular eats everything in sight….last year he chewed a hole into a side of a pot, to get to the very tasty flower bulbs to munch on! I nearly went out with the salt, pepper, herbs and dressing to find out if he fancied a little of that on his salad along side the bit of white bread he had brought with him from next door.😂Good luck with the sunflowers! 🌻. Have a wonderful weekend.

I'll take your advise and start the seeds indoors...I'll put them in the sunroom. I tried to find sunflower plants because I knew this would happen.

@@OrchidWhisperer yes, I sliced off a 3 foot vanda in bloom and tied it to my bamboo home. It weighs about 5 lbs! I tied artificial phalaenopsis to it which everyone thinks are real. It has somehow made an entire blooming flower in ballpark 6 weeks, I have no idea how long it's actually been open...what a thrill to see it this morning!🥰 Too bad they don't let us share pics in the comments

WOW! Your Phal's are gorgeous! I'm a little confused, I just watched your video you did in January - New Orchid Fertilizer. However, I also watched your video regarding a mixture you also used which contains the following: 10 drops Cal Mag; 1 teaspoon of Better Grow Orchid Plus; 30 drops of Seaweed Extract etc. in 1 Gal of water. I believe this was for your Holiday Cactus Fertilizer but I thought you stated it can be used for Orchids (I could be wrong). This is where I'm confused, can I use your new Orchid Fertilizer on my Orchids and my Holiday Cacti or can I use your Holiday Cactus Fertilizer on my holiday cacti only? I am a beginner when it comes to Orchids, I only have 3 however, I do have quite a bit of different holiday cacti and I've been using the above ingredients on them. Looking forward to your response. Thank you so much

Hi Amy, my guess is that the plant hormones in the seaweed extract is causing the extra flower spikes. Those phals along the window look very beautiful. In regard to ppm, does your TDS meter provide an EC conversion factor?
@paulnowak7669

When I soaked my phals and re-used the fertilizer mix, I spread scale amongst my plants that must have come in on one of my orchids. I am still fighting them. Any suggestions to fight the scale?
@OrchidWhisperer
@OrchidWhisperer Год назад
I've never dealt with scale...so I cant speak from my own experience. But I was watching a video on Ed's Orchids channel called Get Rid of Those Bugs, from about 6 years ago. He's had success getting rid of them. You can go to his channel and look up this video. Hope the scale is gone soon.

Can you put into comments the process of how you increased your A &B and are you supplementing also with seaweed extract and cal mag still. I am flushing once a month with epsom salt for added magnesium. I have two Phal’s that are in spike one mini and one regular , the spikes are very slow growing. So I have increased the magnesium.
@yolilopez1992
@yolilopez1992 2 года назад
I guess to be clearer, I need ppm of A&B before the cal mag and seaweed extract is added now. Then do you measure total once you add the cal mag and seaweed extract⁉️ also on video you say you flush once a week with Epsom salts, is that correct or do you mean once a month, how much epsom salt do you use⁉️ I am using 1/2 tsp but used to use 1tbsp to gallon. I have indoor plants as you do, and temps usually 73 during day to 70 at night ,and humidity is high especially on rainy days. Only window is a south window,all orchids are there😎🌸

@yolilopez1992
@yolilopez1992 2 года назад
@@OrchidWhisperer ok,thank you. Reason I do flush with Epsom salts is for extra magnesium , also pro Paula from Hill Billy orchids for helping buds to progress and open and also stop yellowing of bottom leaves. I had read about this from St Augustine orchid society’s article by Sue Bottom. I do have cal mag and seaweed ext. I guess maybe that’s what I need more of weekly😏 I look forward to your next video. Your orchids are absolutely gorgeous.

Hi Brittany! I use fertilizer designed for orchids. I've been using MSU for over a year now and I get great results with it. So I recommend using only orchid fertilizer with orchids. Home made fertilizers lack nutrients and cause issues with orchids. Happy growing! 😇
